I’m a 19-year-old girl currently working at a retail store and I’ve met a boy I’d like to hang out with and possibly hook up with. How do I communicate this on the job without being unprofessional?
Trying to hook up at work is inherently unprofessional, but since you’re a teenager working in retail, my best advice for you is to simply not get caught.
My friend’s boyfriend made a pass at me the other night. I told him I wasn’t interested. Why do I still feel guilty?

I’m happy with my life and with myself, but there are people who get me down. They tell me that I’m “not doing something for social change,” that my open enjoyment of sex is a sign of low self-esteem and being dependent on men, and that I’m not doing something with my life. What do I do?
If you’re genuinely happy, then cut those people out of your life. If you can’t get rid of them altogether, then tell them to take their social and sexual politics, and stick ’em where the sun don’t shine.
